Still, it was just a cheap experiment. I should really buy a proper Pentax fisheye for the K100D - if I get serious and rich! (Actually I want a good Pentax zoom first - the 18-55mm I think.)
Stopping it down from F/2.8 should improve the image quality, but I found when trying to photograph the Geminids on Saturday night that I needed F/2.8 just to capture any, there were several that I saw but didn't capture when at F/4. So I think you're best to stick to F/2.8

Successful experiment I think
